How can I lock my Dock location in a multi-display setup?

Question

I have an M4 iMac 24 running the latest Sequoia.

My screen set up is

On Left: the iMac

In Center: Apple Studio Display

On Right: Dell monitor.

This all works fine except I cannot seem to find a way to fix the dock so that it always stays on the left side of the Apple Studio display.

I have experimenting with all sorts of combinations in the Displays systems settings, but can't seem to sort this out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

1) Enable the macOS option Displays have separate Spaces.

2) Set Dock location to Bottom.

3) Move the mouse to the bottom of the target screen (Dock will jump there).

4) Use the DockLock Lite app to lock the dock on that specific screen.
